The adventures of bear brothers Kenai and Koda continue in Disney's Brother Bear 2. Kenai is a fictional Bear character from the Disney films Brother Bear and Brother Bear 2. While the first movie dealt with Kenai's relationship with Koda, this one focuses more on his bond with a young human, Nita. Nita is a Fictional character from the Disney animated movie Brother Bear 2.
Picking up several months after the original Brother Bear, Kenai - now a cave bear - is living happily with his foster brother Koda.

Meanwhile in a village not far away, Nita - now a young woman - is getting married to a hunter named Atka. Suddenly an earthquake erupts, ruining the wedding and leaving Nita scared and confused. That night, she consults the village shaman, who says that Nita can't wed Atka because her amulet connects her to Kenai. In order to break the bond, Nita and Kenai must go to Hokani Falls - where the amulet was given - and burn it on the Equinox. An equinox is the event of the Sun passing over the Earth's equator in its annual cycle To help them find each other, the Great Spirits bless Nita with the ability to speak to animals.
Soon, the old friends are reunited and off - although Kenai is reluctant to break off their "engagement" - with Koda along for the ride. During the trip, the trio must deal with thieving raccoons, Nita's fear of water, and the romantic problems of moose brothers Rutt and Tuke.

At last, the travellers reach their destination and Nita burns the amulet. Sadly, she also loses her power to talk to the bears. Deeply regretful and heartbroken, Nita says good-bye before running off in tears.
The next day, Koda asks his older brother if he's in love with Nita. However, Kenai refuses to answer directly (even though it's obvious that he does indeed still love her). Love is any of a number of Emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong Affection. In an act of total selflessness, Koda prays for the Spirits to make Kenai human again so he can be with the woman he cherishes.

Koda then goes to Nita's village to fetch her but is pursued by the hunters there.

Just then, the Great Spirits appear and give the bears a second chance to talk to Nita, in order to sort things out.
